For the last week, we did our competency testing consisting of in-shop exercises and computer tests. With our other time in class we spent it wrapping up the freeze boards on our sheds and doing all the punch list type things that come with competing small buildings, sinking nail heads and touch up paint, that kind of stuff.

Once the sheds were totally done we worked on cleaning the shop from top to bottom. As well as completing small tasks around that were just things to help the shop function more efficiently. In the two photos here you can see the aluminum angle iron I cut and installed onto two rolling carts we have in the shop.

Lastly we took a group photo. Myself on the right end and my three classmates /friends. We all worked on the timber frames together and spent quit a lot of time together these past two semesters. We took and photo to immortalize the moment as one of those students completely finished at CM and we wont be seeing him next year!

About This Wood Warrior

Enthusiasm for the industrial arts came about ever since I could play Legos as a very young child and once I reached an age where the design of homes was itching at my curiosity, it was all over from then on. I have been fortunate to work for a few carpenters alike who have shown me many tricks to the trade of construction. After working under so many contractors, it was decided that I was going into business for myself, J.S. Industrial Arts Co; while also going to school at Central Maine Community College for the latest education and practices in Building and Construction Technology. My courses and school resources give me an advantage in the field I feel separates me from other builders in a positive way. If I have questions, they get answered and not from just another builder but a competent and experienced educator who's job it is to teach up to date information as well as stay tuned to the latest and best building practices.
